Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 18 098
The Resilient and Responsive Health Systems (RRHS) Initiative for South Sudan (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-18-098) is a discretionary U.S. government grant opportunity administered by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), specifically the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). It is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the funder expects to have substantial involvement in the program’s direction and oversight during implementation rather than functioning as a hands-off pass-through funder. The opportunity was created on November 2, 2017, with an original application deadline of January 2, 2018, and it anticipated making a single award.
The core purpose of the RRHS Initiative is to build a more resilient, better prepared health system in South Sudan by strengthening human resources for health (HRH) over multiple years. In practical terms, the focus on HRH points to improving the health workforce pipeline and the capacity of the existing workforce, so the country can more effectively prevent, detect, and respond to major public health threats. The program is explicitly aimed at priority diseases that continue to drive illness and mortality, including HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis (TB), and malaria, while also recognizing the need to address other communicable and non-communicable diseases that place pressure on health services and population health.
Beyond disease-specific outcomes, the initiative is framed as a health systems strengthening effort meant to tackle underlying constraints that limit access to quality care. The description emphasizes barriers that affect both availability and access, which commonly includes issues such as workforce shortages, uneven distribution of health workers, gaps in training and supervision, weak service delivery platforms, and limited system readiness to manage surges caused by outbreaks or emergencies. By supporting implementation of national health strategies and recovery plans, the program is designed to align funded activities with South Sudan’s own policy priorities and planning frameworks, rather than creating parallel systems.
A central theme is “resiliency,” meaning the health system should be capable of maintaining essential services while adapting to shocks such as emerging epidemics. The opportunity highlights the goal of improving the system’s ability to respond to new outbreaks and to prevent, manage, and control HIV/AIDS, TB, malaria, and other diseases. The intended end result is improved population health outcomes, achieved not only through better clinical and public health responses but also through stronger system foundations, particularly a capable and supported health workforce.
Eligibility is broad and includes various levels of government (state, county, city or township, special district governments, and independent school districts), Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments), and U.S.-based nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The listing also includes an “Others” category with the note to consult the additional eligibility information in the full announcement for clarification, indicating that other applicant types may be allowed under specific conditions.
The opportunity is classified under CFDA 93.266 and falls under the “Health” funding activity category. The published award ceiling is listed as 0, which usually signals that the ceiling was not specified in the summary record and would need to be confirmed in the full funding announcement or related HRSA guidance. Overall, the RRHS Initiative for South Sudan is positioned as a multi-year, workforce-centered health systems investment intended to improve routine service delivery and strengthen preparedness and response capacity in a challenging operating environment.Apply for HRSA 18 098
